First step:
A dentist In Houston will inject you with a local anesthetic to numb the affected area of the
tooth. If the tooth pulp is severely inflamed and very painful, it can take some extra time to
get it numb. The dentist will wait for it before starting the next step.
Second step:
Root Canal Specialist will use a dental dam to isolate the infected tooth. A dental dam is a
flat, thin, flexible sheet of latex used by dentistry to isolate the affected area to facilitate the
treatment. This helps to perform the treatment in a sterile environment free from bacterias
that are contained in mouth saliva.
Third step:
Houston Dentist will drill through the biting surface of an affected tooth to make an opening
in the crown so that he/she can eliminate the infected pulp with tiny instruments. Once the
infected pulp is eliminated, you will not feel pain. The affected area is cleaned with
antiseptic and antibacterial solutions.
Fourth Step:
In this step of Root Canal Therapy, dentists shape the tooth with biocompatible materials.
After cleaning the canals again, the material is placed with an adhesive cement to confirm
the sealings. During Root Canal Procedure, the material used for filling is a thermoplastic
material that is used to shape the tooth structure. It is heated and compressed against the
walls of the root to seal them properly.
